Nah..I used find+grep in the archives directory. ;) But that doesn't scale very
well, especially since most people don't have accounts on belegost. :)

Should be a togglable config option somewhere. That's a good point. Anybody
else have opinions?

I'm on the freehive (freehive.org) list. I will mail them in a few days,
to check in and introduce myself. I will ask them for comments on seul's

lu-news project (http://linuxunited.org/projects/news/)
